It is equivalent to the simplified ratio of the vertical side length to the horizontal side length of each triangle shown. option A.
Which statement is true concerning the slope of the line?
Point 1:
(x, y) = (6, 5)
point 2:
(x, y) = (9, 7)
Slope, m = change in y / Change in x
= (7 - 5) / (9 - 6)
= 2/3
Ratio of vertical side length to the horizontal side length of each triangle;
4 : 6 = 2 : 3
4/6 = 2/3
2/3 =2/3
Therefore, the slope of the line is equivalent to the ratio of vertical side length to the horizontal side length of the triangle.
